my rear tyre was punctured before, so i had it patched, it was ok for quite awhile, i think bout 6 months or more back.
recently the air started leaking out again, so now i'm not sure whether to repalce the tyre, or repatch it, if its possible. my tyre is only 1 year old, same age as the car. but of cos the wear on the punchtured-before tyre is more than the other tyres, sometimes i didn't notice the air was less then other tyres n kept driving, so the thread wear is different.
can anyone advice me wat to do? repalce or repatch. cos if replace, replace 1 tyre only?

if financial is allow, i will suggest to replace the tyres at least in pair (front or rear pair). But if your area got construction. still with the patch, just don't travel in highspeed.

Hmm,maybe you should mend your tyre else where because the last time I mended mine it only cost me about 15 bucks.But yeah,mending it is pretty economical.

Hell yes to that. Tires are the only things keeping you on the road without them, your car isn't worth anytihng. If finances allow, you should get them all changed. If finances don't, they should be the next thing on your to buy list. Hopefully there is still sufficient thread left on them..
